kerry: in fox 5 health ws an increase in mump is cases in long beach and the surrounding areas and more are expected. dari: most of the patients are in their 20s and were vaccinated. health officials say factors can contribute to an outbreak that include the intensity of the exposure setting, such as a college campus, and effectiveness of that vaccine. >> the vaccine isn't perfect. it's an excellent vaccine. it's a very safe vaccine. it's a vaccine that every parent should make sure their children

it's going to be less perfect the more people don't take advantage of the vaccine. dari: 18 cases are being investigated and they stress that people should not be alarmed. you know how that goes. kerry: joining us is dr. manny alvarez. manny, even though they're telling us don't be alarmed, parents will be. >> this happens all the time. as of late, you see the outbreaks, sometimes 20, 30, 100 people in different parts of doesn't last forever. a lot of people don't get the full dose of the vaccine. they may get one shot, not the second. so kids in their 20s always need a booster. when i sent my kid to college, i give him a booster shot of the vaccine. the socialization in schools, in their 20s, you use cups and you give drinks to each other and all of that. that promotes more passing of

so this is what the health officials are saying. if you think you get it, if you have the mumps, stay at home. because there's no cure in reality. you take liquids, something -- you get a low grade temperature. you can take things like that to monitor the temperature but stay home and let the incubation period disappear because the symptoms stay around 14, 16 days, sometimes you can get it 25 days out of exposure. but don't contaminate anybody. be clean about your space while. and it should go away. for people that don't think they're vaccinated, get the booster shot. kerry: something else to ask you about. i have a lot of dentists in my family who will be interested to know your answer. is flossing your teeth every day a waste of time? experts are saying there's not enough proof this decades old recommendation prevents cavities or gum disease. what do you say? >> flossing came into -- i think it was 1908 or something like

dentist. it became a national staple. it sort of became something that dentists and government agencies put forward. as a matter of fact, every five years or so, it was part of the language, if you will, for healthy living. however, the ap requested the data. they said can you please show us the studies that show that flossing is good for the teeth? in reality, the data is very, very weak. small industry took over the recommendations. so in reality, there's no scientific proof of any significance right now that flossing is good for you. however, i'm not a dentist, but i have a lot of dental friends. dari: who play dentists in real life. >> i think common sense prevails. it's low cost. it seems to be good for your teeth as far as cleaning is concerned and that's always good. most dentists are still recommending it. i'm sure from this kind of story

have a lot of prospective studies looking at the efficacy, whether it prevents gum disease. don't quit. listen to your wives or significant others to floss. dari: if you're not at careful flosser, your gums can bleed. there's talk about the frequency. flossing can dislodge bad bacteria that can cause things can happen. >> continue to floss. look at the video on youtube how to do it properly and you'll be okay. kerry: we're disclaiming that statement. dari: he represents that on his own. kerry: dr. manny alvarez, thank you. dari: we love you. thank you. kerry: nick, are you a big flosser? nick: i am a bad flosser. i don't do it half the time. i'm too tired. i just want to go to bed. dari: some people have a whole
